Best support for early developer

8 replies

I have a DD who is entering puberty quite a bit earlier than her peers. She is pretty gender non conforming, and also neuro diverse. She has noticeable breast buds. I don't think she is ready for a bra for a while yet, but normal vests are quite right either. Any recommendations for what might work? I don't think she would like anything cropped, so full vest but a bit more support.

I am so not ready for this

How old is she?

My Dd was an early developer too. We used the crop tops from Primark with 'hidden support' - they do full vests too. Then we swiftly moved on to the 'Angel' range bras in M&S. She was very conscious of her developing body showing through clothes so it was more about modesty than support early on.

She is only 9. She doesn't love shoestring straps, would prefer a thicker shoulder strap, but the hidden support I think is a winner

I wouldn't bother with anything yet, they don't need 'support' until they have actual breasts. Unless she's asked??

Same situation here and did have success with something cropped finally. Racer back sports crop tops, John Lewis own brand. Nice and substantial.

At 9, I'd be surprised if she's that much ahead of many of her peers.

Just went to sports day and she seemed to be more developed than the girls in yr 6.
